Ysc3 Twincharged November 13, 2018 Share November 13, 2018 went there on a group tour many years back … stayed at Kaohsiung Kingdom Hotel. worst hotel I have ever stayed before. room was very small and towels were damp. *pls don't say 一分钱一分货 ... as this was a group package and the other hotels were still ok. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angcheek Hypersonic November 13, 2018 Share November 13, 2018 I think a better version is to book a drive + 保姆车 . Comfy and convenient. The last time i booked was abt 300++ per day 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic November 13, 2018 Author Share November 13, 2018 It’s ok, going there for 3 days only. Been to Taipei twice so thought of going to a new city there. Plus giving prayers to a friend who passed away long ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic November 13, 2018 Share November 13, 2018 (edited) went there on a group tour many years back … stayed at Kaohsiung Kingdom Hotel. worst hotel I have ever stayed before. room was very small and towels were damp. *pls don't say 一分钱一分货 ... as this was a group package and the other hotels were still ok. Many many years ago my 1st and only group tour was to Taiwan, and the worst hotel was also in Kaohsiung. Overall impression was also the worst for all the city I had visited before in TW all holiday and business trip.

Ash2017 Twincharged November 13, 2018 Share November 13, 2018 Kaohsiung for me was better than expected. People are nice and food was good and cheap. More to relax rather than rushing around to sight seeing Most memorable was having a dinner at a restaurant and saw their local beer. Ordered the beer and comes with a cute small glass. Later i asked the owner if I may buy a glass from him. He did not say much. Later when we paid up, he came with 2 boxes and told it was a gift from them. There are 12 new glasses inside. I was embarassed to say the least. They refused to collect any payment. The glasses were not your free glasses from the brewery but their own. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic November 13, 2018 Share November 13, 2018 Now still have lots of SAF men there ah? Donkey years ago i indeed went there as SAF man. Lol. Not sure for Army side. But Navy side, i know there are three trips to KH every year. One is naval exercise with 10 days shore leave. The other is midshipman training on their way to Japan. And the third is reservist training supporting the Army. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
